  • I do not know of any function to do this. Most likely, you would need to write skill that would run a script / command shell commands to open the cross-section editor and update the name there, then close the form again. You could also submit an enhancement request to Cadence asking for a function to rename a conductor layer.

    Any reason you're doing this on the fly, instead of reading in the cross section from a techfile? That way, you could configure everything, including the material, thickness, type, etc. based on your library of stackups based on the technology for the current design.
